RF Frequency Synthesizers
RF Frequency Synthesizers are highly versatile RF frequency sources that are used in laboratories as test instruments to radar and signal intelligence systems as frequency sources. The key differentiation between RF frequency synthesizers and local oscillators or other single frequency sources are that RF Frequency Synthesizers can generate frequencies within a relatively wide range based on a...
RF Power Amplifier Classes Demystified
There are a variety of classes of RF Power Amplifiers that exhibit features that may be more desirable for certain applications. The main RF power amplifier critical features of efficiency, power output, gain, and linearity are not the only key characteristics but are heavily constrained by the amplifier class chosen. Amplifier class is a distinction made based on how the amplifier output stages...
